%N Smallest prime p such that both p +/- 2n are primes closest to p, or zero if no such prime exists.
%C Such triples of primes occur only for n divisible by 3 (except for the first term with n=1).
%F p-2n, p and p+2n are three successive primes and p is the least such prime.
%e a(36)=23346809 because 23346809-72, 23346809 and 23346809+72 are three successive primes and 23346809 is the least such prime.
